Total number of boxes is 5.

We need to stack them in a line.

02

Step 2. Determine the possible ways of arrangement.

This is an example of a permutation without repetition.

Permutation formula is:

P(n,r)=n!(n-r)!

The number of ways to arrange 5 boxes is P(5,5).

P(5,5)=5!(5-5)!=5!0!=5路4路3路2路11=120
